Pragyan in MI playing XI as KKR opt to field

Cricket fans in Odisha have got what they wanted: local lad Pragyan is in the playing eleven for Mumbai Indians (MI) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), which got underway at a packed to capacity Barabati Stadium here a short while ago.

It will, however, be a while before they get to see the son of the soil in action as KKR captain Gautam Gambhir has won the toss and elected to field.
